I hope you all got to watch some of the HSN Craft Day this Wednesday. There were some amazing deals and lots of new goodies from Anna too!!! She launched a new Cricut, the Cricut One, which is the most affordable Cricut with the new technology. And of course they had the amazing Cricut Air!!!

So many gorgeous products I don't know where to start. I will share some of them with a project that I did from each!!!

I will start with a page that I did with the Cricut Explore Air. This was done with the Anna's Lace cartridge in the Cricut Design Space. HSN also offered this in a regular cartridge for those who have the older regular Cricuts. The images in this are just so pretty and intricately detailed!!!

This one was done with the beautiful butterfly dies! These dies are so much fun, and you can make lots of layers, just fun to play with!!!!

I did this one with the Paper Tricks embossing folders. I just made regular rosettes for this page, but you can make lots of different fancy folds with this embossing set!!!

The Birthday Bouquet 3D Floral Sticker set comes with gorgeous florals and titles. This page was so easy to create with this collection.

Last but not least for today I am sharing a page created with the new Fancy Floral cardstock collection. This is one of my favorite paper collections. So pretty and the colors are gorgeous. This is a cardstock weight paper, great for all kinds of projects, lots of pretty things for fussy cutting, like I did with this layout!

Hello everyone! This is a project that I made for the WOW Embossing UK and UmWow Studio Blog Hop going on this week. For my project I made a layout with a photo from my nephew's wedding this May. I used lots of UmWow chippies and WOW powders. I also used an UmWow stencil on the background.

I used two colors of lavendar on the swirls, and added floral elements in lavendar and white.

I used the diamond stencil with lavendar ink in different areas of my background. I used the blue powder on the little chippie bird and added a tiny pearl for the eye!

I used three colors of green powder on the greenery chippies! I love the shimmer of the glitter! And the chippies are so pretty!

I added a tag with the journaling and some twine with a few pearls for the finishing touch.

Here you can see that I also used the diamond stencil and ink on a lavendar strip of paper as an element. I also added a small amount of lace trim.
